Abstract
This study was a statewide survey that attempted to determine the value of Texas history programs and the status of the materials available. Information was gathered in a survey of selected schools with an Average Daily Attendance of at least 10,000 students during the 1979-1980 school year. The data was summarized and analyzed in eight tables. The conclusions of this study Indicate; (1) the movement to eliminate the required teaching of Texas history is in great disfavor with the teachers of Texas history; (2) the state required minimum of 24 hours of history is considered adequate; (3) most school districts have had a helpful workshop within the last two years; (4) most teachers of Texas history feel that the teaching of Texas' history is very valuable to their students: (5) most school districts did not pick their current text due to the use of a previous edition, but because of the reading level or organization.
